Windows NT How to move user profiles from system drive to free up space

[Lajos]

On one of our production server (HP ProLiant 380D - 2 HD Raid1, C and D
partitions) we are running out of space on the system drive. I was advised
to move the user profiles from the 'Documents and Settings' folder on the
system drive to the D drive.
I have already read the q236621 KB article, but before I try the procedure I
would like to see if anyone would have any experience with this procedure,
or perhaps could recommend something else. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried redirecting folders like My documents or desktop to
alleviate some of these issues? How big are your profiles? Have you
tried cleaning out old profiles? There are many things you can do to
alleviate size issus. As well, I would never split a terminal services
RAID into 2 drives. one big drive is just fine typically.
